Visa Application Process for International Students

Visa to study in Canada is an important aspect of the admission process for international aspirants seeking enrollment at the university. For a study permit, students must apply online unless they have some disability to apply online or they are refugees/stateless persons.

Students will need these documents to apply for a study permit:

Letter of Acceptance
Two-passport size photos
Travel document or a valid passport
Proof of financial support
Letter of Explanation

After submitting all the documents, students have to book a biometrics appointment. In some cases, students can be asked for a medical exam or police certificate. If the application is approved, students will get their study permit either at the port of entry after arriving in Canada or through the mail.

Saskatchewan University offers a range of programs with affordable fees in Canada. The application requirements are very minimal as compared to other universities in Canada. Also, it gives many options for students to exempt themselves from the ELP requirement. Students have to apply in advance to secure their seats at the earliest at this university.
